Sydney Peaks is a rolling intermediate trail that starts really steep just for a little bit then levels off. You traverse along the edge of Sidney Peaks Ridge heading towards the Sidney Peaks Overlook. Sometimes there are a bit of loose rocks, but the trail just follows the ridge. There are beautiful views of the Brian Head below, and you can see the small rock out cropping that is Sydney Peak as you climb along the base of it up and over the saddle towards Bunker Creek.

This trail is underrated- beautiful views, rolling terrain and some cool pinnacles at the end. Next time I’ll do this as an out and back and drop down Dark Hollow. Bunker was meh IMO

This trail is usually ridden as part of a shuttle ride from BrIan Head Peak to Bunker Creek Road and includes Sydney Peaks, Bunker Creek North, Bunker Creek Middle, and a new extension. The total ride is about 12 miles one way. Rode this on 6/5/2021. I encountered several large patches of snow that I had to ride around and few large, downed trees near the peak, but other than that the trail was open and dry. There is a steep, rocky initial climb out of the parking lot then a fast, sometimes rough, rocky downhill. There are a few large rocks that can be dropped, rolled, or ridden around, then a few switchbacks through a charred aspen forest before it meets Bunker Creek North.

Great trail, but signed as Marathon, not Sydney Peaks.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
